Cultural Tip
German speakers appreciate directness, so asking "Ist das für alle klar?" is perfectly acceptable in both formal and informal contexts. In very formal settings you might prefer "Ist das für alle verständlich?" to sound a bit more polished. Remember that "klar" can also mean "obvious"; using it as a check for comprehension is idiomatic and friendly.
